Never Assume

Last evening, a client googled chat me and shared that she has passed on my contacts to a friend. It was nice of her to do so and I appreciate her gesture. More importantly, I appreciated the fact that she did not assume that her friend would not be interested in a healing modality. She just shared what she knows so that her friend can check out for herself, my blog as well as get in touch with me to find out more.

Never ASSUME because it makes an ass out of you and me.

Heard that at a training session once and I love it. Because we think we know best, we assume we know what's best for another. As such, we often make choices for them by not passing on information because we decide that they would not be interested. For example, I often meet friends of friends who are very interested in what I do because it could be of help to them. They then shared that they wish they knew of my services earlier so that it could have saved them a lot of pain and headache.

Well, they would have known of my services earlier and benefitted from them if those friends of mine have decided to pass on the information that I email out each month instead of pressing the "delete" button. :)
